Content

While campuses are a bit slow in moving to producing alternative 
content in
the DAISY format, the 3 major resources for books for people with
disabilities:
1.  National Library Service, Library of Congress
2 RFB&D now called Learning Ally
3 Bookshare.org

Tools that work well for producing large books or large numbers 
of books in
DAISY are a bit expensive and purchased mainly by institutions.
However, there is an open source, free, software player called, 
AMIS
There also is a free add-in for Word that will convert properly 
designed
Word documents into DAISY.
